Title: Large shop front windows
Post by: Chris Cottrell on July 11, 2005, 05:09:37 pm

Hi everyone

this subject has been air'd before i know but i cant find it
so ere we go again

I have just been asked to quote for the front windows of a bank in the high street, 2 off 3m x4m panes ,1 door & 1 small  glass above the door inside & outside weekly

I've seen mentions of £10:00 per large glass so to quote £40:00 per week seems a lot !!!! :-\

has anyone any thoughts for a newbie

thanks in advance

Chris C

I cannot imagine that they would pay £40, work out how long you think it would take and base your price on that most try to earn at least £20 an hour. If you do any similar jobs try to work a price out using that, but by the sounds of it, it is no more than 30 minutes work.

Well done! I reckon it will be fine and once you get used to the layout it won't take long at all, let us know how you get on.
